Abstract
To inject disease free planting material to the cassava growers and also for rapid dissemination of improved variety(s) CIAT cassava program has established practicable multiplication innovations in Laos and Cambodia during 2020. There are two approaches a. In vitro multiplication and b. tunnel systems., In the coming season, vitro multiplication will feed the tunnel systems for developing clean seed systems. In vitro multiplication laboratories at NAFRI, Vientiane Laos and at CARDI, Phnom Penh, Cambodia have been upgraded and now operational with both laboratories receiving physical and later virtual training. Tunnel multiplication system has been established in Laos; however, travel restriction (due to COVID-19) slowed down the progress of setting up tunnel multiplication system in Cambodia. The new date for establishing tunnel multiplication system is February 2021.
